Procedures

1

Preheat oven to 275°F. Arrange bread cubes on a baking sheet and bake until completely dried, about 45 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl. Increase oven temperature to 350°F.

2

Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Add butter and chorizo, and cook until sausage is crisp and fat is reddish/orange. Stir in paprika, rosemary, and onions, then cook until onions turn translucent. Stir in garlic and olives and cook for one minute until fragrant.

3

Add stock and saffron. Stir to combine, then bring mixture to a simmer. Let cook for five minutes at a bare simmer for flavors to meld. Add salt and sugar as needed. Remove rosemary.

4

Pour broth mixture over bread cubes in mixing bowl and toss with a spatula until well combined. Transfer mixture to a 9 by 13 baking dish, lightly distributing evenly; do not pack down. Bake for 30 minutes or until top is well browned but center is still moist.
